did i ever tell you all about the time i was on the food network
yep lil mis rossi
it was the sarah multon (forgot how to spell her name was that right?) show
called COOKING LIVE
they had a caterers special and decided to pair up the old money
traditional caterer "Tentation" and the new upstart boutique caterer MOI
as it turned out I knew the chef Jeffrey from tentation
id worked with him a kazillion years before when i was just starting out in the biz and liked the guy even if he was a little bit uptown while i was clearly a little more downtown..
what i hadnt quite prepared myself for was that the show was LIVE
bang zoom all of a sudden all cameras are on me and its ACTION
right then and there I felt what surely was bout to be ME vomiting on LIVE TV!!!
i quickly made a deal with GOD and somehow rode it thru
people called in and asked me questions that i was not prepped for
and thank (@*@*@((@)@)@) the lord above, i had great answers
I prepared Fenugreek crusted tuna and was told later on that i held the tuna
well... lets just say a bit sexually
no matter a little sexy tuna is always good for ratings
the old money tentation came out and prepared a traditional recipe ..i think it was quail in reduction sauce... (nice..yes...boring..yes...but that's what the old money crowd wants, nice, safe and boring..no wonder i get nose bleeds at 14th street)
anyway
the show was a hit
and im told they re-ran it a few times
i still hold tuna sexually
and have to visit my sister every few months
because of the deal i made with god so i would not vomit on national tv
but it was a great experience
the moral of this story you ask
hmm
well i guess there isn't any
just another little tid bit to tantalize you of the complex sauce
im cooking
rock on
